You're BC, Whats Your Punishment.

[huskerguy]

I know theres already a topic about the stroy, but I would like to see what the people would do if they were BC and you were faced with determaning this guys future.

As for me I say 4 games, but you first get EVERY player on the teams opinion or I guess "vote" if they still want him to be a Husker.

Sorry the 1 Game option got messed up, but I dont think many would be using that anyway haha.

We really need to hear all the info. I really do trust Callahan....

 

[huskerguy]

Oh I completly agree, I think Callahan needs to now the answers to the following questions...

- Was diversion allowed in his first case becuase the story was weak and Maurice didn't throw the first punch?

- Did Maurice hit a women in the first incident or did she just get in the way?

- What was Maurices blood alcohol level?

Aw jeez, here we go again. What more could you possibly need to know?

 

[Hunter94]

for me, at this point, i know all i need to know. he needs to go now.

 

[huskeraddict]

As much as I hate to say it, he's gotta go. He got himself into a mess the first time and was about to slip free and then he goes and gets in trouble again! He hasn't learned his lesson and apparently won't anytime soon.

:yeah What more could we possibly find out? Only more bad things are going to come out at this point.

I won't question the decision if he gets kicked off. But I wonder why everyone is jumping to support that decision when we were defending him after his first incident? If he was not even going to get suspended at all after the bar incident, why does a DUI push it to "kicked off the team"? There seems to be a little non sequitur there, even if it is a repeat offense. I thought no suspension would be too lenient in that first case, and considerable suspension is deserved at this point. But I also think if he can prove himself somehow, he can work his way back to an amount of respectability that he can be on the Husker team again. I don't know - I don't know any prior examples of players getting DUIs.

I say it's the way to go because it's the second time in 5 weeks. He couldn't stay out of trouble for 5 weeks!

 

[husker rob]

i say he is suspended until he has had his day in court. and if he is found guilty, then he is gone. if he is found innocent then he is allowed to play afterwards.

i am sure that BC will make the right choice, and lets just hope everyone supports his decision either way

Yep, I commented on that in the other thread. I've never seen people go from one extreme to the other that quickly. I'd be fine with a four game suspension, but one more strike then he's out.

Are you kidding me?

Fact: He was driving.

Fact: He was drunk.

He doesn't have a snowball's chance in H-E-double hockey sticks of being found innocent. I doubt this will even go to trial.

 

[gamecocks]

There was a player that got pulled over for drinking and driving in 98 but the case got thrown out in court. The only punishment that that particular player recieved was a half game suspension. However, that was the only thing that this player ever did wrong while at NU.

 

[hastingshusker]

Not standing up for the guy...but did I only read he was arrested "on suspicion" of drunk driving. What was his BAC? Has this been proven? I havent been able to read anything about it really so if someone could help thatd be great.

He deserves his chance in court. That's his constitutional right. Maybe his lawyer gets him off due to a technicallity. Maybe a cop had it out for him? We don't know. They haven't released his BAC level.
